Prayer Request Real Brother in Coma
« on: July 23, 2013, 10:38:33 AM »
Hello Folks,

 

I would like you all to pray and remember my Brother (Joey David Aka Boomer) and also a Us Vet (only age 22). while going home Sunday afternoon in a rain storm he lost control of his Truck (By Hydroplaning) went over an embankment ,end over end, and rolled it many times. he was thrown from the truck ,has several broken ribs,a broken collar bone, swelling in his brain and is now in a coma as of late last night.

When we got to finally see him after they got him stabilized after many close calls of losing him multiple  times the last few days . He is not responding to much of anything at this time he is on life support and a feeding tube ,with a pressure relief tube in his head. I will let y'all know as things are updated for the family & Boomers condition .

 

Sam  :'(

Hey guys ,

They (Vanderbilt Hospital) still have not got to do the MRI due to the Metal probe in the top of his head monitoring the Swelling on his brain. when they stopped the meds for pain and other things to remove the air tube he was lost for a few minutes they brought him back and reinserted the tubed so he could breath . also had to give him meds for the pain he was in he is currently not responding at all (we hope this is just the meds doing their job) he is still in a coma .

More as we find out .

thank you for the prayers

Sam

Our prayers are with you throughout your family's difficult time. As too, I lost my only brother in a car wreck in 1991, he was only 30 years old at the time. I miss him and think of him often. I feel you and your family's pain and grief. And understand completely what you are going through. Time does tend to heal.

Bless you and your entire Family.

Thank you guys Boomer will be at Hunter Funeral Home in Sparta Tn. when he is done with the two folks he is helping at Vanderbilt with a Heart and kidneys I think that is what they will be receiving it will be a year before we know for sure and we will have the option to meet them and / or write them a letter ? I know we often do not know just what the Good Lord has planned for us in life and I must say I was very mad at first that this happened to my brother at such a very young age . None of us knew he had signed to be an organ donor until he passed away we were in shock to find out there were actually two people right there in Vanderbilt that were deathly ill and in need of help from Boomer yet God knew all along while my Brother has passed on to be with the Good Lord he will Live within these two folks and they will get to live yet another day I can only hope a child will be the one that is the one that is helped if not some one that will help others anyway just as Boomer has helped them. may God Bless them as my Brother has Blessed me for the 20 years he was able to be with me .
